Last ball nervous match, for a moment i thought Mumbai Indians will loose this match against KKR but when i saw Franklin trying to hit the ball towards the boundary but unfortunately i think so. What do you say friends? Did you enjoy the game? Yes i am and what about you guys?

It was expectation of the unexpected. Whatever, KKR need to win back to back two matches in order to get a berth in the final. This new play off format may drown KKR. It is a real cricket match which I think many people enjoyed. There were no favorite, after starting of the match. Sometime the steering comes to KKR and next to MI. It was a nice match and people enjoyed a lot, though the over of Balaji has broken million people's heart. This cost KKR an opportunity for Champions Trophy, the easier route to final. Whatever, KKR can think positive and play better in order to win IPL. Till date it is the best season of KKR after three miserable season. They never even went near semi final but this time, from the very beginning they dominated to get a place in the top four, they even stayed at the top spot for sometimes. MI fans surely enjoyed, KKR fans were disheartened. Gambhir should have played some other tactics after first two deliveries of Balaji and Balaji himself should have gone for yorkers instead of wide deliveries which saw them three boundaries through the third man zone. I don't think if Balaji could bowl wicket to wicket they could hit sixes as many as required as there are varieties in his deliveries but instant wide deliveries and not keeping a fielder in the third man zone saw them suffered a lot. By the way I would say, this was the best match KKR has played till date as the earlier matches KKR won on the basis of bowling performances (restricting the opponents scoring big) but this match saw them contribution of batsmen that too collective efforts from almost all batsmen. But the luck was with MI as Tendulkar played a masterstroke swapping the batting order of Rayadu and Harbhajan which got them success. Harbhajan and Rayadu both fired and threw the challenge of KKR. They were in trouble after Pollard, Tendulkar and Harbhajan's departure and Pollard could not even played as he can but the luck was with always MI as they never let the asking rate beyond their reach before 14th over. But there were very few overs left so that couldn't trouble much.

Friend i like this kind of cricket format and the new rules of this particular game. I am talking about Play off matches. It is really good because from the league matches top two teams struggle alot to secure their first and second places so its worth and opportunity for them if any one looses then they still have a chance to come back in that next game.

You can say like this. I too get agree. Securing top two spot is not an easy idea. They may deserve another chance. But that may create problem to the rest. Isn't it ? Fair chances are better like equal chances.

That is true, we cannot predict anything in this short format that is T-20 Format. It was a massive win over KKR to the Mumbai Indians. Both the team tried to their level best to win the game but over all they entertained us really well. I like this kind of match alot.

well it was very nervous match and KKR poor captaincy made the lost possible. As it was not the day for balaji so gambhir must have not given him the ball not for the last over atleast.
Frankling was real hero the match and he show day light star to balaji with bang bang four's.
I enjoy the lose of kolkata as i hate the srk ego and want his team to go in hell.
